Election Day in the U.S. is less than a month away, and time is running out for Americans living overseas to vote absentee

Here's what to do before it's too late:

Already registered, requested and received your ballot? Fill it out and send it back to your election office ASAP to make sure it is received by your State's deadline. The Federal Voting Assistance Program recommends mailing your voted ballot by October 15.

Still haven't registered and requested a ballot? Some State deadlines have passed, but you may still have time to request an absentee ballot using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). Go to www.FVAP.gov, and select your State to check your deadline.

After sending in your voted ballot, you can check its status by selecting your State at FVAP.gov.
